Chapter 160
The Lycan King's dark energy surged as he turned his full attention to Aurora, the air crackling with tension. Aurora gripped her blade tightly, drawing the Pact's energy into herself despite the pain it caused. Her daughter's cries echoed through the camp, a sound that pierced through Aurora's exhaustion and filled her with renewed determination.
"You've taken everything from me," Aurora said, her voice steady as she stepped forward. "But you'll never have her."
The Lycan King laughed, a cold, hollow sound. "Brave words for someone who can barely stand," he said. "Even if you defeat me, the Pact will consume you. You cannot win."
Outside, Cassian delivered the final blow to Arianna, slashing across her chest and sending her sprawling to the ground. She coughed, blood staining her lips as she glared up at him.
"Finish it," she spat, her voice filled with venom.
Cassian hesitated for a moment before stepping back, his blade lowered. "You're not worth it," he said, turning toward the camp.
Arianna watched him go, her expression twisted with anger and regret.
Back in the nursery, Aurora and the Lycan King circled each other, the energy around them growing more volatile with every passing moment. Aurora's blade glowed brightly, a beacon of hope in the darkened room.
The Lycan King lunged, and Aurora met him head-on. Their clash sent shockwaves through the camp, the ground trembling beneath their feet. Aurora fought with everything she had, her movements guided by the Pact's energy.
"You don't understand the Pact's true nature," the Lycan King said, his strikes relentless. "It doesn't serve you-it owns you. It will take everything, just as it took from me."
"Then I'll give it everything," Aurora said, her voice unwavering.
Their battle raged, each blow shaking the room and sending sparks of light and shadow flying. Aurora's body screamed in protest, but she refused to falter.
Cassian burst into the room, his eyes locking on Aurora as she fought. "Aurora!" he shouted, rushing to her side.
The Lycan King sneered. "Come, then. Die together."
